Hi guys,
sooo, so sad to announce that the Karel Herer Haze went hermie :/ Man, it's sad! Damn, I'll need to scratch it in the following days, the problem downstairs is that all the 3 plants in the res are interconnected into one big root system, so I'll need to separate it which will def cause some damage to the roots of its neighbor. I also started to supercrop most of the plants after talking a bit to @JamMAKEcan. I was fuckin scared because flowering was in full motion but I did it first on a few plants, only single branches (all were topped so we have double amount of all main stems). If they survive, I'll supercrop the rest of the biggest branches. There're already around 180cm tall, it's crazy!
Plants in the other res are starting to have some issues, looks like root rot is starting so I might loose all 3 plants which would be a fuckin shame!
Did I mention that the size of most plants are so high that the only Cali Mist which I reaaaaaaaaally wanted to try doesn't get light and starts to feel not that great :/ There's not much I can do though. If you have an idea, holla at me!
I should also defoliate or remove all the smaller branches that I left in hopes of faster growing but now seeing what's going on on the fuckin' top of the tent, I can tell that no Light is going to find its way down there. I'll probably need to lollipop heavily (in flowering daaamn)
So that's it for now,
Have a great day/night guys :D
XOXO

Hello. Good to see we are in the same contest. That blacklisted left me a very negative message on my diary too. Nice to know why he's so angry. Good luck on your grow. Chuck.
@Cremo, Hello. This is how I see it. Some of the original land race strains had some hermaphroditism in them. The good breeders will put their selected females through hard stress tests to make sure they don't go hermie. And if they do the breeders will try to find the best females. I think SSSC is a good breeder and would have stressed their females so I would look to the environmental conditions. Is there a small bright light on during the dark period or a light leak near the plant, is there a big swing between daytime temps and nighttime temps. I've read that nutrient and ph imbalances will play a role in making some strain going hermie. So, I can't nail it down what might have done this, as you see it could be a number of things. I had 1 plant out of 6 go hermie in the tent of my Nova OG by Anesia Seeds (I'm not sure if they do stress tests) about 6 months ago. Why didn't the others turn? What started that one turning I still don't know. I'll put it down to the original land race strains getting some original genetics into that 1 seed. It could a few factures that combine to start it. All I can do is be diligent and try to do the right thing with the plants. Experience and learning will help. Also, if you don't know a lot of the breeders will buy their seeds from big companies in Spain that do nothing but make seeds from the clones they were sent, from the breeders and then sell them back to the breeders. There are only a hand full of breeders that make their own seeds now days. OK, Have Fun and Good Luck. Chuck.
@Chucky324, hi there :) nice hearing from you, Sir. Normally I'd ignore it but I've just checked my tent and unfortunately it turned out to be a hermit :/ I'm wondering what might've caused it...
